I mean, look at the specs of a smart TV or smart fridge. The specs on them are shit and they run Linux.

Hell there are whole distros designed to run on minimal as fuck hardware.

Both of her feet are right feet.

Hey OP. That's not the patient's left leg, it's her right leg.

Yes. People are willing to lie for money, and a lot of those questions asked for transfusable blood products are asked to make sure donating is safe for both you and the recipient. Now some questions asked only impact certain blood products, aspirin only impacts the utility of your ~~plasma~~ platelets for example. Now those paid plasma centers ask a lot fewer questions as they only need to make sure you'd be okay parting with the plasma.

It's regulated by the FDA and lying on those blood donation forms is a crime as its both a legal document and considered tampering with the blood supply. As with everything in the medical field there is a required paper trail.

EDIT: my blood product in my example was wrong. It has been updated. If you're curious how I know so much about blood donation, my roommate works as a phlebotomist at a nearby blood bank.

One time back in AP physics on a test I was prompted with "Find the accelerating force on the electron". I could not think of the way to do that in the moment, so I literally wrote No, and wrote down a fake answer so I could use that number for the next part of the problem. I got back the test a few days later and the teacher wrote a smiley face down there. Apparently I made her laugh so long and so hard her family had to check in on her so she just gave me the points.

Please note, in the US at least, if you're being paid for plasma then the plasma is non transfusable, and is being sold for medical research or cosmetics.

I don't know where you're from but in the states you can donate 500 ml of whole blood every 8 weeks. What's the donation size and frequency where you are?

For the unaware, that guy is based off of several real people. Most famously Hiroo Onoda

There was a web comic I saw years ago. Two dudes find a genie one of them wishes that the other guy has tastebuds in his asshole.
